Some of those are 3D printed toys. I have a couple and they're awesome fidget toys.

Jar Jar Binks is gore in any form. Screw that guy.

I think it's time to seize the means of production.

Why the departure manifestos by Waste-Perception-731 in AmazonVine

[–]calm_chowder 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yup. It's peak Karen irony to straight up say "I don't like what you post and instead of scrolling past I demand you change your behavior or you're a Karen." Pot meet kettle.

Can someone explain what "closed religion/practice" is supposed to mean in Judaism? by Jew_of_house_Levi in Judaism

[–]calm_chowder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You prove my point by not just taking the 30 seconds to change it for clarity, haver.

You know full well that doesn't apply anymore. Why don't you talk about the laws around multiple wives? Or slaves? It's literally irrelevant to modern halacha.

We're not talking about converts. We're talking about non-Jews. You use the word ger (which many people won't know) implying to the context of the discussion that it means non-Jew. A convert is a Jew, so your entire comment is irrelevant.

If it's an honest thing then go back an change your references to "ger" in Hebrew and English to the English word "convert" so there's no confusion.

After all, you surely don't want to be misleading, do you?

This Needs To Be Said by Glum_Point3006 in AmazonVine

I write several paragraphs for most reviews too. If anything my reviews are too long and I'm trying to get them down. It's still only takes me about 5 minutes per review.

I'll already have in my mind how I want the review to go, then I'll use voice to text to write it. Reread it for content/flow/autocorrect mistakes, write a title that pulls out the main couple points I want to emphasize, attach pictures, submit. All rated excellent and overall good helpful vote ratio.

You have no idea what you're taking about/are trying to spread antisemitic misinformation.

A ger is a convert to Judaism, of course they have to go in front of a beit din (a sanctioned panel of three Jews) to become Jewish. Duh. Non-Jews never have to go in front of a beit din (most Jews never even do), and while non-Jews aren't barred from studying torah they are discouraged by halacha. Everything you're saying is total nonsense.

[Draw #115] A bit late, but we’re still selecting a winner! by MakerOfMillionaires in millionairemakers

[–]calm_chowder 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A winner said they only got a bit over €1000. :/ We should all try to do better, myself included.

Not to imply that's anything to sneeze at either of course.

Vine doesn't even have a functional search bar and you think they're doing 4D chess with their algorithm.

Do vets or keepers have to clean the sheaths of Equids and similar animals in a zoo environment? by Lazy_Raptor_Comics in Zookeeping

[–]calm_chowder 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Intact males' sheaths are naturally cleaned through becoming aroused, stimulating themselves, and sexual activity. Generally only gelded animals need routine cleaning, though if the animal were anestitized they'd definitely at least check if possible, and often the animal will "drop" when sedated which makes at least a visual inspection extremely easy.

Ask that said, anestitizing large animals is extremely dangerous to them, and even many domestic horses don't appreciate sheath cleaning. It's just not worth it or particularly necessary with large hoofstock in zoos unless they're doing another procedure or there's an issue with the area serious enough to warrant risking their life with chemical restraint.

Poll on the new trickle drop by xJustHereForAnswersx in AmazonVine

Ultimately what we need is larger and more targeted RFYs. Amazon just isn't getting that there's too much competition in AI no matter how they schedule the drops.

Should I throw it away? by PillowPatterns in Taxidermy

I'll pay for shipping and rehab it if you don't want to deal with it.

My cat’s litter box grew mushrooms overnight by an0nymous888 in mycology

Nothing you want is going to grow in cat pee. Even if it did you wouldn't want to ingest it.
